Kindle's are currently about 30% off on Amazon's websites. Seems to be every model in all colors and variations. The deals are for Prime members only, but you might be eligible to try Prime for free.

The deals are at least on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and amazon.de.

There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

 

There's a new firmware for Kindles from 7th gen Paperwhite to the newest Kindle basic. Newest firmware for Scribe is 5.16.2 (May 2023).

Release notes are very short and very generic:

Version 5.16.2.1 – June 2023

Here's what's new:

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

Not listed in release notes, but there is now a button for annotations, that I don't think were there before.

Have you noticed any other changes or improvements?

Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can't see, especially if the software isn't very accessible.

Someone needs to start a "campaign" for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. "[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit"

That list won't show which instances have block the home instance. The blocked list lists only the instances the home instance has blocked, not the other way around.

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

Random fact of the day: The hard thing at one end of a banana is not a seed, the tiny dark speckles throughout a banana are seeds.

There’s been some reports that Reddit is removing posts that say “fuck u/spez” or have some picture of spez.

Also moderators aren’t allowed to comply with the results of those votes that some subs have held recently. So, if they change their sub to private or restricted, they break some rule, even though their users wanted that. And if they open the sub to rules voted by their users, they also break some rule.

Finland, the country, has less than 6 million residents. Finland must be very interesting country if r/Finland has 20 million users per month.

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

Well this turned ugly fast.

Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable

Some people use laptops for doing mobile work, and in some cases that work requires computing power and possibly external peripherals which might require power from the computer. And, of course, games are power hungry.

Higher wattage chargers can also charge the battery faster. Lithium batteries, regardless of their size, can be charged to full in one hour (but it's recommended for full charge to take about 1.5 to 2 hours to not wear down the battery). The bigger the battery the more wattage you need to charge it that fast. Especially if you are using the computer at the same time.
